    Hiking

    The east ledge allows you to overlook the Cirque and admire it from an angle not seen in photos. This path deviates from the main access and therefore offers an alternative for the return path. You will thus avoid the round trip on your steps and will be able to trace a beautiful loop and cover a large part of the Cirque.

    Hiking

    If you like both hiking and cycling: hike Gavarnie because you will then reach the waterfalls and Troumouse on the racing bike because you can cycle all the way to the top and it is wonderfully quiet there.

    The cornice path is superb. Shady and spectacular at the same time.
